I just finished this movie. I enjoyed this movie. I had fun with this movie. I don't feel as my time with it was wasted.

And I do not see what the critics were talking about when they called it a bad movie.

Not sure why, but I got a laugh out of the stolen cab that she ripped the license plate off, drove around NYC a day, parked it at an airport for a few more days, then came back and it was there waiting for her to drive it around some more.

I don't know what the critics are saying because as someone who really liked the Marvel superhero movies  at first, I checked out around the time of Ant Man.

I feel like the genre was beaten into the ground and the Marvel films started to all look the same and retread the same story beats. I stuck around for Endgame, which I think was a complete wet fart of a wrap up to the story they had been building. After that, I stopped watching.

So yeah, Madame Web could be a great movie, but I'm super saturated with the Marvel Disney stuff, and only have an opinion and comment because I did like the "first wave" of their stuff.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

I also have an issue with people calling female-led superhero movies "woke". Some of Marvel's greatest and most reprinted comics are female-led. So what I am seeing in that is pretty sexist.

The most revered run of Marvel's X-Men was very female-focused. So I'm wondering is these critics even know the properties they are talking about.

It shouldn't matter what sex the hero is. It should only matter whether it is a good movie or not.
